First, if you want to display a given Unicode character, then you have to make
sure that you have a font containing that character on your system.

This statement is not quite accurate. To support Unicode, an implementation
does not have to support every Unicode character--Java currently does not
support Arabic or Hebrew. However, work is underway to support both of them in
Java 1.2.
